UK.gov makes total pig's ear of attempt to legalise home CD ripping

The business landscape has changed, the increasing spend on games and other media has (probably, zero facts to back this up apart form gut feel tbh) reduced the amount spent on music.

They need to suck it up rather than trying to use laws to bolster their fading model.

Be good if we could launch something like a US class-action to take them to task for selling us the same thing again and again on differing formats, for padding albums with filler, for all the disgusting formulaic rubbish (ooops, showing my age), for root kits, etc. etc.

Artists will still want to create music regardless of whether they get paid by the big labels; we are in no danger of losing music here.

Home taping never killed music despite what we were told. Sick of it!

(rage quit)
